While adult teeth are meant to last a lifetime, there are situations where their removal is the best treatment option.

We are dedicated to helping you achieve optimal oral health, and ensuring that you are as comfortable as possible throughout your wisdom teeth removal procedure.
Located in the very back part of the mouth, wisdom teeth are the last and final set of molars to emerge. They typically erupt between the ages of 14-30, although some people never get them at all. For most people, wisdom teeth come in properly and do not cause any issues. For some people, however, issues occur, and intervention is necessary to avoid future complications. If left untreated, problematic wisdom teeth can lead to pain, tooth decay, gum disease, and occlusion problems. If there is not enough room in the back of your mouth for wisdom teeth to erupt properly, their growth can be disrupted, causing a variety of issues.
Sometimes wisdom teeth only erupt partially through the gums, which can result in crowding issues with the surrounding teeth, cavities, gum infections, and/or severe pain. Wisdom teeth can sometimes grow in unusual directions, causing complications due to crowding and damage to adjacent second molars. Additionally, impacted wisdom teeth can occur when there is not enough room for them to erupt in the mouth and they become stuck in the gums, unable to emerge. Wisdom teeth that are impacted in the jaw can provide a very fertile ground for bacteria to grow at the opening of the mouth, which can lead to gum infection causing considerable discomfort, pain, swelling, and illness. Oftentimes your dentist in Burnaby can foresee future concerns, so will recommend the removal of your wisdom teeth before any problems arise, helping to avoid expensive surgical procedures later on.
We always recommend being proactive when it comes to your Burnaby oral health. If you are experiencing any pain, discomfort, or swelling in your mouth, or you have any questions at all about your wisdom teeth or the wisdom teeth removal process, call our dedicated Dawson Dental Centre team at (604) 298-3455 and we will be happy to help.
Wisdom teeth may need to be extracted for a variety of different reasons. For many people, wisdom teeth come in properly and do not cause any issues. For others, however, issues occur and intervention is necessary to avoid future complications. If there is not enough room in the back of the mouth for wisdom teeth to erupt properly, this can lead to gum soreness and eventually intense pain. Impacted wisdom teeth (wisdom teeth that get trapped in the gums or jawbone) are very difficult to clean and therefore vulnerable to tooth decay, infection, and gum disease. Wisdom teeth that erupt only partially through the gums can result in crowding issues that affect neighboring teeth. Your Dawson Dental Centre dentist is here to provide an assessment to determine if surgical removal of your wisdom teeth is the best course of action. Oftentimes your dentist can foresee future concerns and will recommend the removal of your wisdom teeth before any problems arise. If you have any questions about your wisdom teeth or the wisdom teeth removal process, please contact us at (604) 409-8659 and we will be happy to help.
Following a tooth extraction, you might experience some discomfort and swelling. This can usually be managed by gently pressing a cold cloth or ice pack to your face or with over-the-counter pain medication. It is important to take time to rest after a tooth extraction, avoid strenuous activity for a few days, and only consume soft or liquid food. If you have any questions about recovery after a tooth extraction, please contact Dawson Dental Centre at (604) 409-8659 and our Burnaby team will be happy to help.
Dawson Dental Centre is committed to ensuring that patients remain as comfortable as possible throughout any procedure. It is important to note that when wisdom teeth are extracted, your mouth will be fully numbed at the surgical site. If you are awake without sedation, you may feel some mild pressure. Most patients choose to have sedation during their wisdom teeth removal and so often remember very little about the procedure.

Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent your wisdom teeth from requiring removal. It is dependent on the way the teeth grow in and fit into your mouth.
